Burgeoning bar group Mark Andrew Developments has confirmed plans for THREE new bar and restaurant venues in the Northern Quarter.

The company, known as MAD Limited, owns a number of popular bars and restaurants in the Northern Quarter already - including Walrus and Tusk on High Street and Rosylee restaurant, The Fitzgerald bar and Hula, all on Stevenson Square.

They’ve now applied for planning permission for a restaurant and a bar, both to be housed in an empty unit on the edge of Shudehill and Nicholas Croft, in the building known as Basil Chambers.

A spokeswoman has confirmed the two separate businesses will be “totally new concepts” for Manchester, with further details to be revealed soon.

Indeed, the spokeswoman added that they hope the restaurant on the site will be: “ready in 8-12 weeks”, while the bar venue will follow later in summer.

Meanwhile the group has also confirmed to the M.E.N. that they have secured the old Habib House site, formerly a bank, next door to Rosylee on Stevenson Square, with the hopes of transforming that into potential new venues in future too.
